and watercooling the ram is pretty much useless, ramsinks with some air are sufficient to cool it. Even if you want to watercool the memory, why dont you just make a full plate block like the stealth.

1) cost. thats 2 blocks and 1 set of ramsinks your paying for.. it will total over 100 bucks and the ramsinks cost about 13-15 bucks for the MC14s
2) two separate blocks means 2 ins and 2 outs. more unnecessary tubing/restriction..
So use your common sense and think about it.Quote:

I agree, I have one on my way for my 8800GTS. I'm just stating the reason of Gabe's choice.Quote:

Seriously. AC users first bash EK products. Now AC blatantly copies EK's style AND makes the move to copper. Where did all the pro-Alu people go??
One solution would be
a Swiftech MCW60-R + Swiftech MC8800 SMC http://www.coolerkit.dk/product.asp?...6&sub=5&page=1..
But if you as i am running with a radbox and minimum number of chassi fans inside this will only end up with alot of heat spreading within the chassi.
but that would probably end up within the same price range as a full cover block.
like this one http://www.aqua-computer-systeme.de/...oducts_id=1848
I liked the new swiftech solution, a couple of F-fittings on top of that it would be great! But hopefully you sell it as a packet not in seperate parts because that would probably be expensive! but maybe your idea with this product is to reach out to users already equipped with a MCW60 block so they dont have to turn your backs for a fullcover block, just upgrade their current setting. A good idea thou to think about when finishing up this as a final product is to add F-Fittings and the small ram-sinks and maybe a couple of those small hoses =P
